This has been confirmed by The Game Awards host Geoff Keighley via Twitter recently. His tweet showed a picture of Kojima with the award title, while holding the whole world in his hand. Okay, that was just a small globe, but the important matter is that the creator of Metal Gear Solid will finally got the recognition he deserves!<\/p>\n<p>Kojima has been the director of the entire Metal Gear series, and also helped develop most of its spin-offs. Other games where he also worked on were Snatcher, Zone of the Enders, and Boktai. He also directed P.T., a horror game whose demo was highly praised, but it never saw the light. He was also working on another Silent Hills game, which is rumored to be a collaboration with Guillermo del Toro, but the project was also cancelled eventually, to many gamers&#8217; disappointment.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">He finally gets his trophy! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN<\/a> to receive Industry Icon Award live at <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/thegameawards?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@thegameawards<\/a> 2016 on Dec 1. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/JhGKOCSGza\">https:\/\/t.co\/JhGKOCSGza<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/RHXNbyp9Py\">pic.twitter.com\/RHXNbyp9Py<\/a><\/p><div style=\"float: none; display: block; margin: 0 -10px; text-align: center;\"><!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_1 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7528541080\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_2 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2964262507\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Geoff Keighley (@geoffkeighley) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/geoffkeighley\/status\/799317329356070912?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 17, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The cancellation of the said Silent Hills game was the source of the rumored ruined relationship between Konami and Kojima. That disagreement eventually led to Kojima himself leaving Konami. Later, Geoff Keighley announced that Hideo Kojima was not able to attend The Game Awards last year. This was because of his lawyers stopping him. That confirmed the rocky relationship of the man with Konami. However, it was all in the past now. Hideo is now head of his own studio, and is working with Sony on another project, which was teased in E3 this year. Everything seems to be fine now for the respected man.<\/p>\n<h3>Hideo Kojima: A game industry&#8217;s icon<\/h3>\n<p>With his contribution, Kojima deserves the recognition this year.
